People are seriously grossed out at the news that Katie Price went to bed with Simon Cowell

The sex lives of celebrities is always hot gossip, but sometimes the reaction is a little, shall we say, lukewarm.

Earlier in the week it was reported that Katie Price and Simon Cowell once hooked up after the British Comedy Awards in 2003. After her ex-fiancé Leandro Penna revealed that Price had spent the night with the X Factor star, the former glamour model clarified exactly what happened, denying that they had sex that night.

“We were both at the Comedy Awards and I was single at the time," Price told The Sun on Sunday. “I’d had a lot to drink and he invited me back to his place. “I got undressed and we got into bed together. His bedclothes were all white. He had a really hairy chest and I got this real sense of being with a man for the first time. “He was the oldest person I had been in bed with. I stayed the night with him and he got me a car home in the morning. “We had fun but we did not have sex. In my opinion, he definitely isn’t gay!”

Whatever happened between that night is between the two of them, but the very idea of Price and Cowell knocking boots was not universally welcomed into the minds of everyone. https://twitter.com/ThatConnArtist/status/828215301024206848   https://twitter.com/claudiaasiann/status/828210687017115649   https://twitter.com/cheesycrisp2/status/826465109253976065   https://twitter.com/KatieRoseCullen/status/825738169345835008   https://twitter.com/Yeloop/status/826698699959066625   Apologies if this has also traumatised you.   Feature: Gareth Cattermole / Alberto E.
